The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at West Point Lake
would like to remind those who own or lease property adjacent to the
reservoir that a permit is required to remove underbrush or conduct
any similar activities on public property. Recent incidents
involving unauthorized underbrush removal and similar violations on
public property at the lake have indicated the need to issue this
reminder.
The entire shoreline of the lake is owned by the United States
Government, and the Corps is responsible for managing the reservoir
and its surrounding, publicly owned land. The property line is well
marked, with red stripes painted on trees along the line. At West
Point Lake, as well as at many other Corps-managed reservoirs, a
shoreline management plan was developed to govern the use of the
shoreline by adjacent property owners. This plan was developed with
extensive public input and involvement and has been in place ever
since the reservoir was built. The plan designates shoreline
allocations which govern the types of activities that may be
permitted in specific areas, and it specifies these activities and
uses. The objective is to promote safe and healthful public use of
the shoreline while conserving the lake’s natural resources for
current and future generations. Preserving public access to the
shoreline and to the lake is a primary objective.
Adjacent property owners or others who have questions regarding the
use of public property at West Point Project are asked to contact
the Project Management Office at 706-645-2937, and ask to speak to a
park ranger.
